Your Brain, Love, and Addiction

I recently ran across this article on love that compared being in love to addictions.  They linked to the Rachael Leigh Cook, "This is your brain on drugs" commercial, which was one of my all-teim favorites.  This post was an excuse to share the video.

Here is the article: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/love-and-sex-in-the-digital-age/201501/is-your-brain-love
I suspect your students might like or hate this, depending upon their current romantic state.

Mapping the Brain: Brain Scans-New Amazing Interactive

I just received my newsletter from PBS about NOVA Spark newsletter--available here: http://app.nationalproduction.wgbh.org/e/es.aspx?s=2531&e=4434&elq=357d7be649404349bf35470a8e6033a3

In it, there was a link to an amazing brain scan online tool where the user can choose the brain scan, choose the view, and choose the brain part(s) to be examined.  This is just so cool I could spend a couple of hours just playing around and investigating how and where everything is and connects.  Thank you PBS.

In addition to the scans, you see the different views--coronal, sagittal and axial.
